Month column showing in field list when in enter query editor column not show ??

lavdeep Calculated columns and Tables that are created under Data Pane can't be visible/accessible under Power Query Editor. In that case, add a new field in Power Query Editor to extract the Month as below using "Custom Column" under Add Column tab.
= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "NewFieldNameMMM", each DateTime.ToText([DateField], "MMM"), type text)

Hi,
Yours is a calculated column formula (not a M Language formula). I think you are trying to write that formula in the Query Editor - do not write it there.
